Below are all the data points for the 2022 Auto Express Summer Tyre Test, displaying how each tyre performed across all test categories. The spider chart below provides a complete overview of performance, where one hundred percent represents the best performance in each category. The larger the area covered by each tyre's plot, the better its overall performance.
How to read these charts:
For each test category, data is presented relative to the best performing tire. The direction indicates whether lower or higher values are better - pay close attention to this when interpreting results.
Spider chart cannot be displayed because there are no test categories common to all tires.
They tyres were tested on Bridgestone's own test track. Might that have given them a slight advantage I wonder?
I was hoping for a better result from Falken, they are my usual Go-to midrange brand.
It certainly could have but any home advantage is usually extremely small! And yes agreed on Falken, I'd waiting to see more tests though before I worry
Falken aren't made in Japan any more.... this is for me the major reason for this results...
Thanks for the test results :)
The Bridgestone had in thenear past also very good results, so the victory isn´t surprising. The Goodyear confirms the good results from your test. The Maxxis is a surprise but I´m not sure how good the balance is. IIRC some Maxxis tyres with good grip levels had a bad tread life.
The new Falken is a bit disappointing IMHO. Behind the "old" Hankook, maybe the good aquaplaning resistance contorted the wet skills.
